I decided I had too much "stuff" in her tank, so I took out a few of the plastic plants and a piece of Mopani wood, then pushed the remaining plants towards the back, leaving the front of the tank more open. I think it looks better this way and she seems to be coming out a little more.

Me: "Jacques, I gave you 2 pieces of salmon, but you only ate 1. What's the deal?"
Jacques: "That one smelled funny.
Me: "What do you mean, it smelled funny?"
Jacques: "It smells like it has ground up pieces of KIBBLE in it!!! You wouldn't know anything about that, WOULD YOU??"
Me: "...well,...ummmmm...."
Jacques: "HAH!!!!!!! You can't fool ME!!!!!"
Me: ( sigh )

Isn’t she gorgeous? Yes, less “stuff”, so we can see the star better! ;)

For the calendar — yes, she must be in it! Maybe try a horizontal image (just because it fits better on the calendar page). I loved Elsa’s pictures too, and she came so close to getting her own page! Is it Jacques’ turn now? :D
